Hi guys,
Been doing alot of reading on the forum here about the right caliber that will fit me.As soon as I determine it I will be ordering the G2 contender in a 12 inch bullberry barrel. I dont currently reload but I most likely will once I find out cost of factory ammo. Would like to deer hunt for the first time next season with the pistol. The calibers Im leaning towards are the 30-30, 44 mag or 45 LC. I liked the 7-30 waters but that apears to be a wildcat and or buying the already made casings is hard to find and costly. Most of my hunting will be in the woods and near swamps.Not too many open fields.100 yards is probally the max distance. I like the 30-30, is easily and cheaply available. But from what I hear about is it will be very inefficient from factory loads.Alot of the powder will be wasted outside the barrel. I never shot the 44 mag but it sounds like it works good upto 75 yards or so on deer. Will I need to strengthen my wrists for this. Or would a muzzle brake help. And the 45 long colt I hear alot of the guys like this over the 44 mag. Maybe too much for my type of hunting. I will be using the 12 inch barrel. What about accuracy; is there one caliber over the other I mentioned that is more accurate between 50 and 100 yards? Thanks guys for setting this greenhorn right with your expert advice, Steve
